Many Stewarts continued to live in the Atholl area with many claiming descent from the Wolf of Badenoch. These Stewarts of Atholl are descended from Walter a son of Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan (the Wolf of Badenoch).
They were mainly transferred by allegiance to the Murray Earls of Athol and were known as Athol men. This is maintained today with the Athol Highlanders, Europe's only legal private army. General David Stewart of Garth, an Athol man, was an officer in the Black Watch regiment and his book, Sketches of the Highlanders and Highland Regiments, popularized his homeland in Victorian England.
James Stewart built a strong castle at [Garth Castle] where he settled at the end of the 14th century. Structures have dotted the land of Garth Castle since 1100 AD according to the monks of Fortingall records. The first Castle of Garth was built in the early 1200s by Alexander II, King of Scots (and grandson of Robert Bruce). Edward I of England sent his soldiers to destroy the structure, breaking down the massive stone walls with catapults and fierce fighting men.
The heir to Garth, Alexander Stewart (the Wolf of Badenoch) rebuilt and fortified the castle structure in 1384, to resist the onslaught of flaming arrows and rocks hurled from catapults.

|
| C.O.A. for Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley. |
Meanwhile, the elder branch had ended with Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, husband of Mary Queen of Scots, and father of James VI (I of England); thus, when the 6th duke of Lennox and 11th seigneur d'Aubigny died in 1672, the heir to Aubigny was the king of England and Scotland, Charles II.
Louis XIV, however, was reticent to have a foreign sovereign own fiefs in France, and refused to acknowledge the inheritance, and an arrêt du conseil of 20 Jan 1673 pronounced the reversion of Aubigny to the crown of France.
